I am an extremely hardworking, honest and reliable person; keen to learn and willing to develop new skills. I am punctual and flexible, shown in my willingness to work long and irregular hours. I enjoy working as part of a team but equally I am able to work independently, both under instruction and of my own accord. I am also sociable and always motivated to help others.
